In three patients with pulmonary embolism, two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated thrombi within the right heart chambers. These thrombi, suspected of embolizing into the pulmonary circulation, showed varied morphology and mobility. Of the two patients undergoing embolectomy, only one survived. The third patient improved with anticoagulation therapy. Two-dimensional echocardiography is useful in evaluating patients suspected of having pulmonary thromboembolism because it may demonstrate evolution of the thrombus.
在3例肺栓塞患者中，二维超声心动图显示右心室内有血栓。这些血栓疑似已栓塞进入肺循环，其形态和活动度各异。在接受栓子切除术的2例患者中，仅1例存活。第3例患者经抗凝治疗后病情改善。二维超声心动图在评估疑似肺血栓栓塞症的患者时很有用，因为它可能显示血栓的演变情况。
